Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of gripping mechanism technology, and in particular to a triple positioning telescopic gripping and transplanting mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] Cardboard boxes, as an extremely common and widely used packaging material, play a crucial role in various industries today. From the storage and transportation of food and beverages to the safety protection of electronic products and daily necessities, and even the professional packaging of pharmaceuticals, cardboard boxes are ubiquitous, providing a reliable protective barrier for products. Based on the different materials, cardboard boxes can be mainly divided into corrugated cardboard boxes and single-layer cardboard boxes. Corrugated cardboard boxes, with their unique corrugated structure, possess excellent compression resistance and cushioning performance, effectively protecting the contents from external impacts; while single-layer cardboard boxes, with their lightweight and low cost, are suitable for items where packaging strength requirements are not high.

[0003] However, regardless of the material used to make the cardboard box, a single-layer cardboard box is highly susceptible to deformation if it lacks internal support materials such as foam. This is because the structure of a single-layer cardboard box is relatively simple and lacks sufficient support to resist external pressure and impact. In actual product packaging, a certain operational procedure is usually followed. First, the bottom and sides of the cardboard box are sealed to ensure the basic structural stability of the box; then, the items to be packaged are carefully placed inside the box; finally, the top of the box is sealed to completely enclose the items.

[0004] Before packing materials into cartons, the positioning and movement of the cartons require extreme care. This is because unpacked cartons are quite fragile, and even slight carelessness can lead to deformation, affecting subsequent packaging work and the protective effect on the product. Currently, in actual packaging operations, cartons are mainly transported using either assembly line conveyors or manual handling. Assembly line conveyors offer the advantages of high efficiency and continuity, enabling large-scale carton transport. However, they also have significant limitations. For example, assembly line setups require considerable space, which poses a significant challenge for companies with limited space. Furthermore, the relatively fixed layout of assembly lines hinders flexible integration of cartons with other equipment or processes, potentially impacting the overall efficiency of the packaging process.

[0005] While manual handling offers high flexibility, allowing for adjustments to the carton transport route and position based on actual conditions, it demands significant manpower. Operators need to handle cartons for extended periods, increasing their workload and increasing the risk of fatigue and errors, thus impacting packaging quality and efficiency. Furthermore, manual handling is relatively slow, making it difficult to meet the demands of large-scale production. Therefore, improving transport efficiency and reducing labor intensity while ensuring safe and accurate carton transport has become a pressing issue for the packaging industry. Utility Model Content

[0006] This invention overcomes the shortcomings of existing technologies and provides a triple-positioning telescopic gripping and transplanting mechanism. The positioning grippers employ a triple-positioning design. When gripping a carton, the first, second, and third cylinders extend sequentially, gradually reducing the center range of the positioning layer, ensuring the carton is precisely positioned in the center of the clamping plane. This avoids excessive one-time pushing that could deform the carton and also makes the gripping force of the grippers more uniform, ensuring stable clamping of the carton. The 90-degree fitting clamping plate at the end of the first Y-shaped clamp branch can hug the adjacent sides of the carton. The four first Y-shaped clamps stably hug the four corners, and the second Y-shaped clamp extended by the third cylinder provides secondary clamping. Even if the surface of the carton is uneven, it ensures the stability of movement. This transplanting mechanism can accurately position and protect the carton, preventing deformation. The drive component enables the lifting component to be raised, lowered, and moved, creating conditions for the movement of the carton. Compared with traditional assembly line handling, it occupies less space, is more flexible in application, and has greater promotional value.

[0007] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the utility model is implemented through the following technical solution:

[0008] A triple-positioning telescopic grasping and transplanting mechanism includes a movable support, a driving component that is horizontally slidably connected to the movable support, a lifting component that is vertically connected to the driving component, and a lifting component that includes a Z-axis link, the bottom end of which is connected to a clamping plane composed of two parallel Y-axis links and two parallel X-axis links.

[0009] Positioning jaws are provided at the four corners of the clamping plane, and the clamping direction of the four positioning jaws is pointing towards the center of the clamping plane.

[0010] Furthermore, the positioning gripper includes a first cylinder, the output end of the first cylinder is connected to a second cylinder, the output end of the second cylinder is connected to a first Y-shaped clamp and a third cylinder, and the output end of the third cylinder is connected to a second Y-shaped clamp.

[0011] The four first cylinders of the four positioning grippers operate synchronously to form the first positioning layer;

[0012] The four second cylinders operate synchronously to form the second positioning layer, and the four third cylinders operate synchronously to form the third positioning layer.

[0013] Furthermore, each of the two branch ends of the first Y-shaped clamp is provided with a fitting plate, and the two fitting plates are at a 90-degree angle to each other.

[0014] Furthermore, the movable support is provided with a first slide rail and a first rack;

[0015] The driving component includes a transverse plate, which is connected to a first motor. The first motor is connected to a first rack via a drive gear.

[0016] Furthermore, a second motor is provided on the transverse plate, and the second motor is connected to the lifting drive linkage. The lifting drive linkage is coaxially provided with at least one first helical gear, which meshes with a second helical gear. The axis of the first helical gear is perpendicular to the axis of the second helical gear, and the second helical gear is coaxially provided with the lifting drive gear.

[0017] Furthermore, the lifting drive gear meshes with the second rack, which is arranged parallel to one side of the double lifting base rod. The double lifting base rod is connected to the third slide rail, which is slidably connected to the transverse plate.

[0018] Furthermore, a second slide rail is also provided on the dual lifting base rod, and the Z-axis connecting rod is slidably connected to the second slide rail.

[0019] Furthermore, a synchronous belt is provided on the double lifting base rod, with synchronous pulleys connected to both ends of the synchronous belt. The length direction of the synchronous belt is set along the length direction of the double lifting base rod, and the first synchronous belt connecting block and the second synchronous belt connecting block are respectively connected to the belt body on both sides of the synchronous pulley.

[0020] The first synchronous belt connecting block is connected to the transverse plate, and the second synchronous belt connecting block is connected to the Z-axis connecting rod.

[0021] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this utility model are:

[0022] 1. The positioning gripper adopts a triple positioning design. When gripping the carton, the first cylinder, the second cylinder, and the third cylinder extend in sequence, gradually reducing the center range of each positioning layer, so that the carton is finally in the center of the clamping plane. This avoids the problem of deformation caused by excessive pushing of the carton at one time. At the same time, it makes the clamping force of the four positioning grippers on the carton more uniform, ensuring that the carton can be stably clamped.

[0023] 2. The two branches of the first Y-shaped clamp are provided with fitting plates at a 90-degree angle. When clamping the carton, the two adjacent sides of the carton can be hugged together. The four first Y-shaped clamps can stably hug the four corners of the carton. In addition, the second Y-shaped clamp pushed out by the third cylinder plays a secondary clamping role on the carton. Even if the surface of the carton is not flat, it can further ensure the stability of the carton during clamping and movement.

[0024] 3. The transplanting mechanism can not only accurately position the cardboard box, but also protect it during handling to prevent deformation. It is equipped with a drive component to enable the lifting and moving components, providing ample conditions for the movement of the cardboard box. Compared with the traditional assembly line method of handling cardboard boxes, this method occupies less space, is more flexible in application, and is more conducive to its widespread use.

[0033] The preferred embodiments of the utility model are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments described herein are for illustration and explanation only and are not intended to limit the utility model.

[0034] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, a triple-positioning telescopic gripping and transplanting mechanism includes a movable support 1. The movable support 1 is horizontally slidably connected to a driving component 2. The driving component 2 is vertically connected to a lifting component 3. The lifting component 3 includes a Z-axis connecting rod 301. The bottom end of the Z-axis connecting rod 301 is connected to a clamping plane composed of two parallel Y-axis connecting rods 302 and two parallel X-axis connecting rods 303. Positioning grippers 4 are provided at the four corners of the clamping plane. The clamping direction of the four positioning grippers 4 all points to the center of the clamping plane. Therefore, after the positioning grippers 4 grip the carton, they can lift and move the carton, thereby moving the carton from one position to another.

[0035] The positioning gripper 4 includes a first cylinder 401, the output end of which is connected to a second cylinder 402. The output end of the second cylinder 402 is connected to a first Y-shaped clamp 403 and a third cylinder 405. The output end of the third cylinder 405 is connected to a second Y-shaped clamp 406. The four first cylinders 401 of the four positioning grippers 4 operate synchronously to form a first positioning layer; the four second cylinders 402 operate synchronously to form a second positioning layer; and the four third cylinders 405 operate synchronously to form a third positioning layer. When gripping a carton, the clamping plane first descends, placing the carton at the center of the clamping plane. Then, the first cylinders 401 retract towards the center, making the center of the first positioning layer... The first positioning of the carton is achieved by shrinking the surrounding area. Then, the second cylinder 402 retracts towards the center, reducing the center area of ​​the second positioning layer and achieving the second positioning of the carton. Finally, the third cylinder 405 retracts towards the center, reducing the center area of ​​the third positioning layer and achieving the third positioning of the carton, clamping the four corners of the carton. Through triple positioning, the carton is finally positioned in the center of the clamping plane, preventing the positioning claws 4 from pushing the carton too much at once and causing deformation. Moreover, the fact that the carton is finally positioned in the center of the clamping plane makes the clamping force of the four positioning claws 4 more uniform, allowing the carton to be stably clamped and moved.

[0036] Both branches of the first Y-shaped clamp 403 are provided with a fitting clamp 404. The two fitting clamps 404 are at a 90-degree angle. Therefore, when clamping the carton, the two fitting clamps 404 can hug the two adjacent sides of the carton, and the four first Y-shaped clamps 403 can stably hug the four corners of the carton.

[0037] After the third cylinder 405 pushes out the second Y-shaped clamp 406, the Y-shaped intersection of the second Y-shaped clamp 406 is at the same angle as the two fitting clamps 404. Therefore, the second Y-shaped clamp 406 plays a secondary clamping role on the carton. Because the surface of the carton may not be very flat, the carton and the fitting clamps 404 may not be completely fitted together. Therefore, the second Y-shaped clamp 406 plays a double protection role in clamping the carton, thus further ensuring the stability of the carton during clamping and movement.

[0038] The movable support 1 is provided with a first slide rail 101 and a first rack 102; the driving component 2 includes a transverse plate 201, which is connected to a first motor 202. The first motor 202 is meshed with the first rack 102 through a driving gear. A second motor 203 is provided on the transverse plate 201, which is connected to a lifting drive linkage 204. The lifting drive linkage 204 is coaxially provided with at least one first helical gear 2041, which meshes with a second helical gear 2042. The axis of the first helical gear 2041 is perpendicular to the axis of the second helical gear 2042. The second helical gear 2042 is coaxially provided with a lifting drive gear 205.

[0039] The lifting drive gear 205 meshes with the second rack 2061, which is parallel to one side of the double lifting base rod 206. The double lifting base rod 206 is connected to the third slide rail 2067, which is slidably connected to the transverse plate 201. A second slide rail 2066 is also provided on the double lifting base rod 206, and the Z-axis connecting rod 301 is slidably connected to the second slide rail 2066. A synchronous belt 2062 is provided on the double lifting base rod 206, with synchronous pulleys 2063 connected to both ends. The length of the synchronous belt 2062 is along the length of the double lifting base rod 206. A first synchronous belt connecting block 2064 and a second synchronous belt connecting block 2065 are respectively connected to the belt body of the synchronous belt 2062 on both sides of the synchronous pulleys 2063. The first synchronous belt connecting block 2064 is connected to the transverse plate 201, and the second synchronous belt connecting block 2065 is connected to the Z-axis connecting rod 301.

[0040] When horizontal movement is required, the first motor 202 is turned on, and the first motor 202 drives the drive gear connected to it to rotate. Since the drive gear meshes with the first rack 102 on the moving bracket 1, the drive gear rolls on the first rack.

[0041] The rolling of the drive gear causes the transverse plate 201 connected to it to slide horizontally along the first slide rail 101. The first slide rail 101 provides guidance for the sliding of the transverse plate 201, ensuring that the transverse plate 201 moves smoothly and accurately to the target position, thereby realizing the horizontal position adjustment of the entire mechanism.

[0042] When vertical lifting is required, the second motor 203 on the horizontal moving plate 201 is activated. The second motor 203 drives the lifting drive linkage 204 to rotate, and the first helical gear 2041, which is coaxially mounted on the lifting drive linkage 204, rotates accordingly. Since the first helical gear 2041 meshes with the second helical gear 2042, and the axis of the first helical gear 2041 is perpendicular to the axis of the second helical gear 2042, the rotation of the first helical gear 2041 drives the rotation of the second helical gear 2042, realizing the conversion of the power direction and transforming the horizontal rotation into a vertical movement trend.

[0043] The second helical gear 2042 is coaxially arranged with the lifting drive gear 205, so the rotation of the second helical gear 2042 drives the lifting drive gear 205 to rotate. The lifting drive gear 205 meshes with the second rack 2061, which is parallel to one side of the double lifting base rod 206. The lifting drive gear 205 rolls on the second rack 2061, thereby causing the double lifting base rod 206 to move vertically up and down relative to the transverse plate 201 along the third slide rail 2067. The third slide rail 2067 provides guidance for the lifting of the double lifting base rod 206.

[0044] During the lifting and lowering process of the double lifting base rod 206, the synchronous belt 2062 mounted on it moves under the drive of the synchronous pulley 2063. A first synchronous belt connecting block 2064 and a second synchronous belt connecting block 2065 are respectively connected to the belt body of the synchronous belt 2062 on both sides of the synchronous pulley 2063. The first synchronous belt connecting block 2064 is connected to the transverse plate 201, and the second synchronous belt connecting block 2065 is connected to the Z-direction connecting rod 301. The movement of the synchronous belt 2062 drives the Z-direction connecting rod 301 to slide vertically along the second slide rail 2066 on the double lifting base rod 206 through the first and second synchronous belt connecting blocks 2064 and 2065, thereby realizing the lifting and lowering of the Z-direction connecting rod 301 and completing the vertical position adjustment of the mechanism.

[0045] The positioning gripper of this utility model adopts a triple positioning design. When gripping the carton, the first cylinder, the second cylinder, and the third cylinder extend in sequence, gradually reducing the center range of each positioning layer, so that the carton is finally in the center of the clamping plane. This avoids the problem of deformation caused by excessive pushing of the carton at one time, and at the same time makes the clamping force of the four positioning grippers on the carton more uniform, ensuring that the carton can be stably clamped.

[0046] The two branches of the first Y-shaped clamp are equipped with fitting plates at a 90-degree angle. When clamping the carton, they can hold the two adjacent sides of the carton together. The four first Y-shaped clamps can stably hold the four corners of the carton. In addition, the second Y-shaped clamps pushed out by the third cylinder play a secondary clamping role on the carton. Even if the surface of the carton is not flat, it can further ensure the stability of the carton during clamping and movement.

[0047] Therefore, the transplanting mechanism can not only accurately position the cardboard box, but also protect it during handling to prevent deformation. The drive component enables the lifting and moving components, providing ample conditions for the movement of the cardboard box. Compared with the traditional assembly line method of handling cardboard boxes, this method occupies less space, is more flexible in application, and is more conducive to widespread use.

[0048] Finally, it should be noted that the above are merely preferred embodiments of the utility model and are not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. However, any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the utility model should be included within the protection scope of the utility model.
